Frozen Mysis Alternative

[ArialReef]

So, I have a pair of Banggai Cardinals in my 180. I just got them three days ago. I have tried feeding them pellets, they ate it but just a very small amount of it. Since frozen mysis is not available here in Indonesia, can I use frozen Acetes shrimp instead (Google it)?

I don’t see why not. Seems like they would have similar nutrition.

Those would be an excellent alternative.

K then. Meanwhile, can I feed them some feeder guppies? 'cause I can't buy some frozen acetes right now. Also, do I need to thaw the acetes, boil it, than freeze it again just to be safe? I don't want a disease outbreak so......

Don't boil it. Freezing will suffice to eliminate pathogens.

Ok, thanks dude! Opinion on the feeder guppies?

 

[eatbreakfast]

Guppies will be fine to feed.
